Uptown Bikeways

The Uptown Bikeways project will enhance neighborhood connectivity between Uptown, Old Town, Mission Valley, Downtown San Diego, North Park, and Balboa Park; promote active living and healthy communities; and make streets safer for people who bike, walk, drive, and take transit. Features include streetscape enhancements and amenities that will make roadways more pleasant for people of all ages and abilities to walk or ride a bike for everyday trips. The project also will create links to the larger bikeway network being built throughout the region. The Uptown Bikeways include five segments:

Economic Development: improve public infrastructure and strengthen opportunities for community and business development

Project Status

After several years of planning, community outreach, and project refinement, the SANDAG Board of Directors approved the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) exemption for Segments 1-4 of the Uptown Bikeways project on July 22, 2016. Segments 1-4 of the project will move forward and are being phased for final design and construction. Additionally, preliminary engineering and environmental work has begun on part of Segment 5, the portion of the Park Boulevard Bikeway from Robinson Avenue to Upas Street. The section of Segment 5 from Upas Street to Village Place is still in the planning phase and will be completed at a future date.

While work continues on the entire project, Segment 1: Fourth and Fifth Avenue Bikeways is anticipated to begin construction first, in 2019.
